Southern Comfort

I headed down south on Monday morning to catch Hurley on three gates. I got to Hurley around 5:30 am to get in a quick paddle before work.


It was cold and dark and paddling towards the weir I really hoped to see a classic three gates, and I did. The mist was thick and you could barely see the middle wave from the eddy.



As soon as the sun started to come up it started to warm slowly, the sun rise was amazing. It was an awesome 3 gates with big shoulders and a nice retentive pile.



Later that day Hurley went down to 2 then 1, I think all in all I was pretty lucky.
